Real Madrid pushes to sign Juancho Hernangómez

German forward Isaac Bonga has been the cornerstone of the European basketball market in this last week. A lot of teams, among which was Barça, aspired to sign the former Partizan player and the one that seems to have won the race for his signature is Panathinaikos, as revealed this Saturday by the Basketnews media. The presence of Zeljko Obradovic on the bench and a spectacular offer – some sources speak of 10 million euros for three years – with departures each summer to the NBA have finally convinced the 26-year-old player.

The arrival of the German international to OAKA could cause a domino effect with direct implications for Real Madrid. Some media outlets claimed this Saturday that Bonga had almost closed his arrival at the white club, but the truth is that others rejected this possibility. According to sources consulted by Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid are looking for a ‘four’ in the market but their main objective is not Bonga but Juancho Hernangómez.

The Spanish international has one more year on his contract precisely with Panathinaikos and both he and the Greek team have repeated in recent weeks that they are committed to maintaining their relationship. However, everything could change with the new situation of the team, which has just brought in Zeljko Obradovic as the new coach and Bonga to reinforce the ‘four’ position.

Some sources even claim that Real Madrid has already presented an offer to Juancho. In any case, his future is in the hands of Panathinaikos, who will have to confirm, or not, that they still have the Spaniard for next season.
